The Arts House occupies the almost 200-year old building which was once home to Singapore’s first parliament. This national monument re-opened as The Arts House in 2004 and is today a vibrant arts centre within the Civic District managed by Arts House Limited (AHL). The venue promotes and presents multidisciplinary programmes with a focus on literary arts as well as festivals within its elegant spaces, playing a key role in supporting our arts sector and bringing communities together through the arts. Besides managing The Arts House, AHL also presents the Singapore International Festival of Arts, the Singapore Writers Festival and manages five other arts spaces: Aliwal Arts Centre, Drama Centre, Goodman Arts Centre, Stamford Arts Centre, and Victoria Theatre & Victoria Concert Hall.
